Auto-restart playback to a UPnP device

In unmanned situations such as industrial applications and digital signs, it is useful to automatically have a stream played to a digital media player, even if Pearl-2 restarts.

To configure auto-restart of a stream to a media player:

  1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to Admin panel.
  1. From the Configuration menu, click UPnP. The UPnP configuration page opens.
  2. In the Play on service start section, select a stream from the Live stream drop-down list.
  3. Select a digital media player from the Player drop-down list. Digital media players on your network that support UPnP playback appear automatically in the list.
  1. Click Apply.

Only a single stream and player combination can be configured for auto play. The channel's UPnP configuration must be enabled for it to appear.
